Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P  =  55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

A source charge generates an electric field of 4286 N/C at a distance of 2. 5 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge? (Us
svp [43]

The magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC which generates 4286 N/C of the electric field. Option B is correct.

What does Gauss Law state?

It states that the electric flux across any closed surface is directly proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Q = \dfrac {ER^2}k

Where,

E = electric force = 4286 N/C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99 \times  10^9 \rm\ N m ^2 /C ^2

Q\\
     = charges = ?

r = distance of separation = 2.5 m

Put the values in the formula,

Q  = \dfrac {4286\times  2.5 ^2}{8.99 \times  10^9 }\\\\
Q  = 3\rm \  \mu C

Therefore, the magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC.

Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.
White raven [17]

Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.

ycow [4]

Answer:

Molecules speed up

Explanation:

This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them
